From @propublica.org: stories of the Venezuelans, none of them criminals, who were picked in a made-for-TV raid on an apartment building in Chicago that used blackhawk helicopters and military tactics
1/ The night of the raid, Jonahyker López awoke to the sound of a helicopter over his building and federal agents yelling, “Open the door!” López told me he sat on the edge of his bed, wishing that his own door would become invisible. But the door came down and agents burst in. 🧵

🤯 Trump's peace plan provides for Russian control over Donbas in exchange for rent, - The Telegraph
The plan provides for Kyiv to cede control of Donbas to Russia, but retain ownership and thus be able to avoid the need of referendum. Russia will pay the specified rent for actual control.
